Once upon a time.

There once was a grump by the name of Trump

Who did not want to pay taxes...

He decided one day to find a friend to delay

His paying government taxes...   

It is a crime but I will give you the time

Said the Russian President...

It is a sin but I want you to win 

That U.S. election event...

When you become boss they won't notice the loss

Of money from the U.S. mint...

Like me you will be on top of the ladder                      

strategically glad to be

President!

"Yes...yes"...said Trump with a very large grin...

"You are my good friend"...Mr. Putin...

 And so they survived smiling and laughing until

somebody burned their ladders!
